MUSICAL FUSION
Brooklyn-based Vincentian singer-songwriter Nikita โTynieโ Seaton fuses various music genres into her soca style.
According to the Brooklyn-based Chandy Media, Tynie started her musical career as a steel pan player before transitioning into singing and songwriting.
โAs a writer, Tynie is known to create a unique space by putting her pen to paper, marrying controversial lyrics and melodic sounds,โ said Chandelle De Riggs, chief executive officer of Chandy Media. โWriting songs that relate to her audience plays a pivotal role in her creative niche.โ
In 2020, De Riggs said Tynie worked as a radio personality on Caribbean Jam Radio and West Indian Jams Spotlight.
โAs a radio personality, she connected with artists and producers from all genres, thus giving her more insight into the entertainment business,โ De Riggs said. โWithin that same year, she was awarded a certificate of appreciation from Jersey City Mayor Steven M. Fulop for her hard work and dedication to Caribbean culture.
โNot only is Tynie a singer and songwriter, but, this year, she tried something new, venturing into production with Aromatic Tracks,โ she added. โTynie isnโt also just an artist but an entrepreneur. She has her eyelash boutique and line.โ
De Riggs said Tynie broke into the Caribbean music entertainment industry in 2019 with her soca songs โTrouble-makerโ (Big Dan Riddim) and โNobody Elseโ (BigRed HD Productions).
In 2020, De Riggs said she collaborated with Spikey Vybz with a Dancehall song, โWine Pon It,โ produced by Kingsmen Productions.
In 2021, Tynie released another coca track, โNew Normal,โ off the Deep Colors Riddim (produced by Kingsmen Productions).
โNew Normal was inspired during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, reflecting on what many identified as the โnew normalโ of social interactions,โ De Riggs said.
That same year, Tynie released โRude Gyal Class.โ In 2022 , she released a track on the Bright Clouds Riddim, produced by Aromatic Tracks, called โSweetest Connection.โ
The riddim she produced, titled โSoley Levy,โ was released this March.
This past April, she released โDoh See Meโ off the Thriller Jab Riddim, and a few more tracks set to be released in the coming months,โ De Riggs said.
โMusic isnโt only her passion; itโs her life,โ De Riggs added. โLook out for more from Tynie this year.โ
